Among a lifetime of sportfishing trips, one customer described Orlando’s backcountry fishing excursions as unparalleled. If you seek remote adventures far from cell service and roads, Orlando crafts trips that fit the bill. While basic English is spoken, a grasp of conversational Spanish will enhance your experience on these more demanding trips.
Orlando collects guests from Cancun’s hotel zone and journeys north on rugged roads to Isla Blanca, about 45-60 minutes away. Boarding his panga, you travel further to mangrove-lined cays. Navigating through shallow sandbars and mangrove tunnels, Orlando expertly guides you to a sheltered lagoon, where baby tarpon provide an exciting initial challenge. While fishing success varies, the preparation and guidance are excellent.
After warming up, the adventure continues with a scenic ride further north, accompanied by tasty turkey, cheddar, and jalapeño sandwiches. Crossing through a labyrinth of mangrove canopies, small ponds offer more chances at tarpon, demanding precise casting skills. Orlando’s boat handling through narrow channels is truly impressive, demonstrating intimate knowledge of the area.
As the sun intensifies, parties may opt to head back, enjoying the unique biodiversity of the mangrove forest along the way. A highlight on the return is a detour to Boca Iglesia, a historic site featuring Central America’s earliest church from the early 1500s. Accessible only by boat and remote jungle paths, exploring this abandoned archaeological gem feels like stepping back in time—a rare and unforgettable experience.
For thrill-seekers craving an extraordinary fishing expedition off the beaten path, Orlando offers a one-of-a-kind journey. Bringing a satellite phone or GPS tracker is recommended due to the rugged isolation. This is not an ordinary trip but one built on trust in an exceptional guide. Guests look forward to returning for this unique adventure.
